Historical Traveler Reviews The Savoy Hotel Miami Beach
Enjoyed my stay
I was scared to stay here after reading some of these reviews but was pleasantly surprised when I got there. Guess every persons experience can be different. Our room was great(room #221). You can pick from 2 decors. Pick the Florida Deco option....much better. I saw one of the other decors and not nearly as nice. There are 2 buildings one which used to be another hotel(Arlington I think). Stay in the Savoy part. We had a small kitchen dining and living area. Our floorplan was the best I thought...very spacious. Others had wall between kitchen and living area which made it less roomy. No silverware or dishes in the kitchen at all. Also no ice machine for you to get your own ice. You have to call and request ice each time you need and some times it took long.
The balconies were locked and we couldn't get them open at first but this was quickly corrected. There is no restaurant on the premises which kinda sucked but atleast we were walking distance to alot of places on Ocean Drive. There is a deli right across the street which we grabbed a sandwich from and took to the beach. The other reviews are correct when saying that the walls were very thin. We could hear everything going on above us. Loved that the maids didn't constently knock on the doors like at other hotels and wake us up(i mean we are in South Beach and sure weren't ready for an early morning bang on the door). They just left a quiet note on the floor. Nice. Yes there is a $5 resort fee but almost every hotel has that if it is on the beach.
Usually it is $10. This is for 2 beach chairs. We needed 3 and the guy didn't give us much problem about giving us the third. The water was quite pretty. Better than I have ever seen it before. The pool area was beautiful and they had comfortable lounge chairs. Loved the qaintness of the hotel. Was worried about the crowd during Labor Day weekend, but it was fine. Overall we were pleased with our stay and we will definately come back.
Good location...but has issues!
I just stayed at the Savoy hotel for 3 nights (August 22-25, 2003). I fortunately was able to get a good rate of $99 per night for a 1-bedroom suite. Although, I had requested a king bed, I was only able to get a queen. After several requests to be moved to a king room, I was told that only thing available (on my 2nd night) would be a king with an ocean view, and that I would have to pay for an upgrade, which I declined.The hotel has a lot of positive attributes, such as beach access, a very nice pool (but with limited umbrellas--only 2 for the entire pool areaso get there early if you want one), close proximity to the major Ocean Drive action and overall nice rooms (mine was not that big, but it had two small terraces, a kitchenette and was nicely decorated). Additionally, the staff was very nice and helpful. A continental breakfast is included and is served in the lobby. The breakfast is fair (frozen bagels/danish, barely working toaster, and stale cereal), and they dont offer any trays to hold your food, so you better bring the tray from your room. Currently the restaurant is under renovation and closed, so food service is not available. The Savoy offers a menu from the Big Pink restaurant (diner style food) who will deliver to your room or at the pool. I ordered from them twice and the food was actually pretty good.Dont use they their phone for local calls. They have a very high surcharge; it cost me $2.50 to call to order foodthe place is 3 blocks away. After that, I used my cell phone.
They also charge a $5.00 per day resort fee (for towels and beach chairs). It kinda seems like they are trying to squeeze extra money, which I dont like. Also, it seems like there is not much sound insulation in the rooms. I could always hear what was going on in the room above me.Overall, for the rate I paid, and the location, it was okay. To call it a luxury experience would not be the truth.
What a JOKE !
Here's what happened during my week stay in March 2003.
1)the Bellman was overheard bitching because he had to carry our luggage up 3 flights of stars cause the Elevator wasn't working.
2) the Fire Alram went off off night and day the whole week.
3) A/C didn't work, and the card key locks didn't work either.
4) The maintenance and pool guys yelled all day long in Spanish around the pool area, and one maintenance man always smelled of booze.
5) the worst was the General Manager named Chuck, he didn't help us out of all, it's like he cared less.
They nickel and dime you
Everything has a price. When you pay for accomodations plus tax. you do not expect to be hit with resort fees on top of that. They want $5.00 per day per person just for using their towels. I never heard of such a thing. Clean, Friendly staff, great location but a bad taste left with ridiculous charges. Breakfast need help. They are better off not even having it if it's going to be like army barracks.
Horrible hotel!
This hotel is the worst misrepresentation of luxury! To say it simply, it is a cheap hotel! Your lucky if the air conditioning works. We reserved a two room suite ocean front and paid a deposit up front in order hold this reservation and also spoke with someone over the phone to confirm the reservation. We were told everything was set. When we arrived to check in the front desk person said that they do not make any promises even if we did have it in writing via e-mail. We did get a two room suite overlooking the street, no balcony, no air conditioning, dirty floors, mice in the walls that we could hear at night. The worst hotel we have ever stayed in. RJ
I liked it...
I read the other reviews carefully, but still decided to give the Savoy a shot, and was quite happy with it. Not a perfect, top-of-the-line hotel, but South beach isn't known for that, anyway, unless you can stay at the Delano for $300 a night. The Savoy's best asset is its setting, with a beautiful courtyard with two nice pools, romantic ocean-view verandas and beautifully maintained gardens. It's right on the beach, just go out the back gated and there you are. And while the hotel is on ocean drive, its setting (just below 5th Street) means it's outside the craziness just a few blocks north. My suite (#302) was on a corner facing the street, and was perfectly comfortable, with a HUGE bedroom, big marble bath, and living room with french doors out to a rooftop deck area. While I could hear the TV from the adjoining room next door if I was in my living room, once in the bedroom I was in total privacy. Drawbacks: they advertise each room with a "kitchenette" but in reality it was a small fridge and coffeemaker. My room was somewhat "charm-free," but I saw other rooms that were better decorated. One has to call to have ice delivered. Plusses: Staff were friendly and accommodating, free breakfast in the lobby, excellent location, beach chairs/towels/umbrellas provided (for a $5 "club fee"), room and hotel in general appeared scrupulously clean. It seemed like the other (bad) reviews were based more on the behavior of the other guests, so I guess that can always be a risk. But I would recommend the Savoy for its beautiful setting.
Great Hotel
Great Hotel, The hotel is located right on the beach, and has complimentary beach chairs. The Pool is also a nice touch to finish your day. The rooms were extra clean and very up to date. Great hotel and very highly recommended.....
Gangs of new york
we couldn't have been more thrilled with our 1st impression of the savoy. The room was beautiful and spotless, two gorgeous pools and access to the beach. Were a little disappointed to find that parking cost $18 a day and that the restaurant was under renovation but we had a kitchen in our room so we stocked up on a few groceries, no big deal.
What we weren't expecting was the group of about 60 boys and girls from the hood that took over the hotel for 3 days surrounding the 4th of July. The room across the hall and the one directly above us had to have had at least 10 people to a room and they partied until 7 am each morning, running up and down the halls, screaming and cussing at the top of their lungs. No sleep for any of us. Our last day on July 5th brought in even more "40 THUG" tattooed, gold medallion wearing morons who parked their rented mopeds in front of the hotel and were let in through the security gates by their friends. We had no chairs available to us, no towels and we weren't real keen on taking our 3 year old into the pool anyway. The grand finale was watching some obese drunk S.O.B.
do a strip tease and another "gangboy" throw something through the plate glass window leading into the exercise room next to the pool.
After the police left, the desk clerk imformed us that these people were simply "guests" of other people staying at the hotel. You know, it's really a shame that security sucked so badly because it's really a beautiful hotel with alot to offer but the people working there didn't seem to have any more regard for their other guests than the moochers did.
Hip Hop No Way
I have stayed at the Savoy many times - but over the last few years they have catered to the Hip Hop Generation - It was once a beautiful place to stay - now it is an unsafe place to stay - especially when the Hip Hop festival is in town over Memorial Day weekened. Security was horrible - there was at least 10 people staying in a room. I complained to management - but they did not care. I have stayed at the Savoy for five years - and this was final straw. They just don't care about there repeat business in fact they could care less. Too bad.
Skip the Savoy
Extremely disappointed with our stay at the Savoy in South Beach, Miami. We attempted to speak with the manager for two days regarding a serious security problem we had without success - on numerous occasions he conveyed to the receptionist/concierge that he was too busy and refused to speak to us (even by phone). Could be fantastic as the location is great! I could go on and on about the problems we had...so farcical it was almost funny. Would thoroughly recommend anyone looking at the Savoy to look elsewhere - there are so many other great options in South Beach. Vacations are too precious to waste on a "Fawlty Towers".

VALENCIA, Spain -- Brawn GP's Rubens Barrichello won the European Grand Prix on Sunday to claim his first Formula One victory in five years.

Child work and labour among orphaned and abandoned children in five low and middle income countries

The care and protection of the estimated 143,000,000 orphaned and abandoned children (OAC) worldwide is of great importance to global policy makers and child service providers in low and middle income countries (LMICs), yet little is known about rates of child labour among OAC, what child and caregiver characteristics predict child engagement in work and labour, or when such work infers with schooling. This study examines rates and correlates of child labour among OAC and associations of child labour with schooling in a cohort of OAC in 5 LMICs.
The Positive Outcomes for Orphans (POFO) study employed a two-stage random sampling survey methodology to identify 1480 single and double orphans and children abandoned by both parents ages 6-12 living in family settings in five LMICs: Cambodia, Ethiopia, India, Kenya, and Tanzania. Regression models examined child and caregiver associations with: any work versus no work; and with working <21, 21-27, and 28+ hours during the past week, and child labour (UNICEF definition).
The majority of OAC (60.7%) engaged in work during the past week, and of those who worked, 17.8% (10.5% of the total sample) worked 28 or more hours. More than one-fifth (21.9%; 13% of the total sample) met UNICEF's child labour definition. Female OAC and those in good health had increased odds of working. OAC living in rural areas, lower household wealth and caregivers not earning an income were associated with increased child labour. Child labour, but not working fewer than 28 hours per week, was associated with decreased school attendance.
One in seven OAC in this study were reported to be engaged in child labour. Policy makers and social service providers need to pay close attention to the demands being placed on female OAC, particularly in rural areas and poor households with limited income sources. Programs to promote OAC school attendance may need to focus on the needs of families as well as the OAC.

Synonyms: gcpE
1-hydroxy-2-methyl-2-(E)-butenyl 4-diphosphate synthase (IspG) catalyzes the sixth step of the mevalonate-independent methylerythritol phosphate (MEP) pathway, the conversion of 2C-methyl-D-erythritol 2,4-cyclodiphosphate into 1-hydroxy-2-methyl-2-(E)-butenyl 4-diphosphate [Campos01, Altincicek01, Hecht01].
IspG activity depends on additional proteins, most likely involved in the oxidation portion of the reaction [Rohdich03]. IspG contains a [4Fe-4S] cluster that is required for its activity [Seemann02, Seemann05, Zepeck05]. Mutations in cysteine residues responsible for Fe-S cluster coordination abolish IspG's enzymatic activity [Zepeck05]. In vitro, ErpA can transfer a [4Fe-4S] cluster to apo-IspG [Loiseau07]. Increased IspG activity was observed under new assay conditions [Xiao09]. Flux through the entire MEP pathway was shown to depend on the presence of flavodoxin 1, which may supply reducing equivalents necessary to reduce the Fe-S cluster and yield an active enzyme [Puan05].
A new reaction mechanism was recently proposed [Wang10]. Further studies on the reaction mechanism and reaction intermediate have been published [Xiao10, Xiao11, Wang11a], and potential reaction mechanisms are reviewed in [Wang14a].
An ispG mutant does not activate human γδ T lymphocytes due to its defect in production of (E)-4-hydroxy-3-methyl-but-2-enyl pyrophosphate (HMB-PP). This intermediate in the MEP pathway accumulates in an ispH mutant [Altincicek01a, Hintz01].
ispG is essential [Baker92, Altincicek01, SauretGueto03]. Missense mutants which are defective in the MEP pathway [SauretGueto03], as well as a conditional amber mutant [Herring04] have been isolated.
Since the enzymes of the MEP pathway are not found in humans, they have attracted interest for their potential as anti-infective drug targets. A MEP pathway inhibitor has been identified and found to bind IspG [Nakagawa13].

Forty Pages -- a class through the Great Smokies Writing Program on UNC-Asheville
This ten session workshop is for those writers with a novel in progress, almost completed, or completed but in need of a final polish. Each student will submit forty pages (half at the beginning of the course, the rest during the sixth week) of his work in progress for discussion and critique by the class and close editing with written comments by the instructor. We will focus on the effective use of key techniques such as creating an intriguing opening line and compelling chapters, creating a likable and/or engaging protagonist, weaving in back story in small, manageable doses, writing realistic dialogue, setting up a dilemma that begs to be resolved, making the most of each scene and, in general, producing a page-turner. We will attempt to weed out the mistakes that mark the amateur writer and turn each student into a discerning editor of his own work. The suggested text is the highly acclaimed Don't Sabotage Your Submission by career manuscript editor Chris Roerden (Bella Rosa books --ISBN 978-1-933523-31-6.) LINK TO COME.

Layoffs/Bonus Watch '12/13: Morgan Stanley
Back in January, Morgan Stanley CEO James Gorman sent a simple messages to his employees, who had been grumbling about their pay: STFU or GTFO. "You're naive, read the newspaper, No.1," Gorman told Bloomberg he would say to any members of his staff that wanted to give him lip about their compensation to his face. "No. 2, if you put your compensation in a one-year context to define your over all level of happiness, you have a problem which is much bigger than this job. And No. 3, if you're really unhappy, just leave." Today, in an interview with the FT, Gorman reiterated his stance and added that in addition to reducing compensation for current employees, the bank will likely be drastically cutting pay for future analysts. If anyone has a problem with that, consider applying for a gig at Bank of Mythical Pre-Crisis Era Bonuses. Alternatively, Gorman is happy to discuss a compensation plan in which you'll be awarded shares of his foot in your ass, which vest immediately.
In the latest sign of the pressure Wall Street is under to cut costs and address high pay levels, James Gorman, chief executive, said that staff and remuneration would have to be sacrificed as banks cope with lower profits. "There's way too much capacity and compensation is way too high," Mr Gorman said in an interview with the Financial Times. "As a shareholder I'm sort of sympathetic to the shareholder view that the industry is still overpaid."
Morgan Stanley itself is already axing 4,000 jobs, 7 per cent of its workforce, by the end of this year. In the new year, Mr Gorman said, the bank will consider its next round of cost-cutting, including lower pay and bonuses. News of further pay cuts, including potentially for new entrants at the investment bank, comes just weeks after Goldman Sachs confirmed it was overhauling its well-known entry-level programme for analysts. Goldman was said to have tired of the number of analysts in the programme who left the bank for hedge funds. Mr Gorman said that Morgan Stanley will probably keep its own analyst programme, but pay could be reduced significantly.

Orthodox Tidbits Holy Martyr Sebastian
This glorious saint was born in Italy and brought up in the city of Milan. While still young,
he dedicated himself to military service. Being educated, handsome and courageous, he received the favor
of Emperor Diocletian, who appointed him captain of his imperial guard. Secretly he confessed the Christian
Faith and prayed to the Living God. As an honorable, just and merciful man, Sebastian was greatly beloved
by his soldiers. Whenever he could, he saved Christians from torture and death, and, when he was unable to
do so, he exhorted them to die for Christ the Living God without turning back.

Ricoh GR Digital digital camera
Great magnesium-alloy build, compact and lightweight, excellent handling, great image quality, comprehensive level of specification
Large screen hampered in brighter conditions – viewing becomes difficult. The pop-up flash position means errant fingers can inadvertently hinder it
In October 1996, the Ricoh GR series of 35mm film cameras were born in the shape of the GR1. This camera and its later film bearing GR counterparts were some of the company's first compact cameras aimed at the enthusiast or pro snapper where image quality and resolving power of the lens were the paramount considerations, but crammed into a tiny package.
Today that small GR package has evolved and the introduction of a digital GR version that aims to follow those illustrious forbears in terms of image quality, usability and sheer photography panache, has its work cut out.
The Ricoh GR Digital certainly looks the part of a GR of yore, its 25mm "thin" body with slightly bulging handgrip-come-battery-and-memory-card housing are key traits. Its fixed focal length 28mm (35mm equiv.) lens has a bright F2.4 maximum aperture and as a prime lens, it's the key to preserving the GR reputation; it does however provide the same unparalleled sharpness and lack of distortion synonymous with the GR name.
Those familiar with GR film cameras know they were not simply point and shoot cameras; the new GR Digital is no different. It provides a comprehensive set of controls, full manual shooting options and a range of fine tuning options for controlling the cameras myriad settings that will satisfy the most demanding pro or enthusiast.
There are also a set of "system" accessories that allow you to attach accessories, wide-angle lens adapters, matched optical viewfinders (disappointingly there is no built-in optical viewfinder) and external flashguns (incidentally made by Sigma) that allow you to expand the camera and its versatility.
In use, the camera sits snuggly in the hand with the shutter release and dual control dials (one front and one on the back, a la D-SLRs) making the camera feel every inch a camera within your complete control. A mode dial with the manual, aperture priority and program settings includes a green coloured point and shoot setting a 320 x 240-pixel, 30fps movie mode and a single Scene mode. This last item providing a black and white text setting for snapping documents.
The large 2.5-inch screen provides comprehensive display options including composition frame lines and dominates the back plate; active histogram display and you can opt for nothing being displayed at all. The screen is sadly quite difficult to use in brighter conditions and although it is very sharp, I found that shadows and highlight areas in a shot were not displayed particularly well even when adjusting the screens brightness, giving a lack of detail that belied the true quality of the shots, more on that later.
Other controls on the back include the main menu/ok control; a four-way button set up that surrounds the menu button providing flash, replay, and the camera's excellent 1.5cm macro settings. These buttons also double as jog-style buttons that assist in scrolling the many menus the GR has to offer or displayed images.
The menus include the usual array of set-up options, access for the more advanced settings such as the completely customisable image parameters where sharpness, contrast and colour depth can be tweaked and saved as custom settings. There is also auto exposure bracketing and white balance bracketing built-in along with the ability to shoot with the AdobeRGB colour space embedded into the shots.
You cans shoot JPEG, TIF, RAW and RAW/JPEG combo files which savable on either the internal 26MB storage of removable SD or MMC storage. You get comprehensive ISO control, from ISO 64 to ISO 1600, with the noise controlled fairly well up to ISO 400, mediocre at ISO 800 but suffering more beyond that.
A fast shutter response of around 0.1-second makes the camera responsive to use but writing larger TIF or RAW files to any storage is disappointingly. In terms of image quality, the 256-zone metering and AF work a treat, macro focusing is excellent too and the sheer level of detail that GR lens captures (or the GW-1 0.75x wide-angle adaptor lens I also got to play with on this test) allows those 8 million pixels on the sensor to do there job well. Distortion is minimal at worst and negligible at best.
While the Ricoh GR Digital is not without flaws and notwithstanding its £400 price tag, which may make some swallow hard before parting with any cash for it, it is also a very accomplished little camera. The new GR would be ideal as a professional's back up, or perhaps the main weapon of choice for photo enthusiasts.
In either case they'd be safe in the knowledge the camera boasts a superb spec, lacking practically nothing; a built-in optical viewfinder would be a benefit though. Moreover, the image quality and versatility will not let them down. In short, it is worth every penny.
